nit: it's spelt Wankel not Wankle.

Also for those who don't know, it's pronounced /ˈvaŋkl̩/ or /ˈvaŋkəl̩/ in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). In German, "W" is pronounced as "V" in English, and the "e" in the syllable "kel" is reduced to a schwa ([ə]) sound, common in many German pronunciations of unstressed vowels.



Sadly enough I did know that but wrote it wrong anyway! Fixed, thanks. :)
